Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator has a multilayer structure in which a first filler layer containing phosphate particles, a porous resin substrate, and a second filler layer containing inorganic particles having higher heat resistance than the phosphate particles are stacked in this order from the negative electrode side. The first filler layer is disposed on the porous resin substrate in such a manner that the surface of the first filler layer faces the surface of the negative electrode. The phosphate particles have a BET specific surface area in the range of 5 m2/g or more and 100 m2/g or less.

Abstract: A first cover body has a first space defined by peripheral walls. Each of a plurality of protruded portions has a through hole, and is outwardly protruded from at least one of the peripheral walls so as to define a groove communicated with the first space and the through hole. Each of a plurality of retainers is provided with one of the protruded portions. A second cover body is fitted with the first cover body so as to close the first space, while being retained by the retainers. A plurality of projections are provided on an outer periphery of a third cover body. The third cover body is disposed in the first space such that each of the projections is fitted into the groove so as to partition the first space from the through hole.

Abstract: An electrical connection box for a vehicle has a body and a power distribution element. A portion of the body upstanding from one face receives, in use, an electrical component such as a relay which at a fastening location is joined to the distribution element. A casing covers the component receiving portion. To reduce the risk of accidental contact with the fastening location, the box has a removable U-shaped cover covering the fastening location, the cover being enclosed within the casing. The cover has an aperture through which the electrical component projects, and the periphery of the aperture may contact the component receiving portion or the electrical component.

Abstract: A wire harness assembly including a wire harness and a junction box. The junction box contains a plurality of junction box terminals and it also carries an attachment unit projecting outwardly. The attachment unit has a plurality of openings in its outer surface through which the junction box terminals project. One end of the terminals is in contact with the internal circuit of the junction box and the other is a pair of cutting blades into which the wire is inserted. An intermediate section of the wires is attached in accordance with the foregoing, and the ends are inserted into a plurality of connection boxes. The openings may be in multiple rows, offset transversely from each other. This permits inclusion of a large number of terminals in a relatively small space.

Abstract: A terminal assembling structure includes a terminal metal fitting having a tinning layer on a surface thereof, a connecting portion overlapped with the terminal metal fitting, and a fastening member fastening the terminal metal fitting and the connecting portion. An adhesion phenomenon of metal is generated between the terminal metal fitting and the connecting portion by the fastening of the terminal member.

Abstract: In a terminal metal fitting assembling structure (10,30), a projecting portion (45) is provided on a plate-like overlap portion (32) which is formed on a second terminal metal fitting (30). In addition, the position of the projecting portion (45) is set outside an area (A) of the overlap portion (32) that is overlapped by a head portion (50A) of a tightening bolt (50). Due to this, when the terminal metal fittings (10,30) are tightened by the tightening bolt (50), a plate-like overlap portion (12) formed in the first terminal metal fitting (10) is flexibly deformed and is pressed by the projecting portion (45) against the plate-like overlap portion (32) of the second terminal metal fitting (30), so that the two terminal metal fittings (10,30) can be strongly contacted with each other by the resilient force generated by the flexibly deformed plate-like overlap portion (12). This makes it possible to increase the contact pressure between the two terminal metal fittings.

Abstract: An article such as fishing tackle or the like, is provided with an exterior surface which has high strength so that any cracking or separation hardly occurs, has high durability, is light in weight and is decorated to have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The exterior surface is formed with a synthetic resin coating layer, a thin decorative layer formed through physical vapor deposition with metal, and a transparent or semi-transparent protective layer.

Abstract: A tubular body made of thermoplastic resin as the matrix of the body. The tubular body is formed from a woven fabric and sheet assembly including woven fabrics each having reinforcing fibers and thermoplastic fibers interwoven with the woven fabric, and a uniformly oriented or paralleled fiber sheet made of fiber bundles which include reinforcing fibers and thermoplastic resin fibers mixed with the reinforcing fibers. Since the assembly does not become sticky at the room temperature and is wound onto a core without heating process, the assembly can be formed into a desired tubular form with ease.
